Virtual Erotic Con — July 20th, 2024
Writer Convention | Erotic Authors | Indie Authors | Writing | Publishing
Everyone come together for some fun!!
You read that right, the Ladies of CRUSH are hosting their first annual CRUSH Publications LIVE author/reader convention. It is going to be an all day affair with lots of opportunities for interacting within a community we have all come to love. Mark your calendar ladies and gents, July 20th, 2024!
If you have attended author panels in the past then you will know what to expect. Each session will last 45 minutes, we will have a moderator during each event. Sunny, Skylar and their two guys will be keeping us all on pace that day. If you, the reader, have questions for the authors, now is your chance to come out and ask them!
Some of you haven’t had the fun yet of participating in an author panel. Your in for quite a treat. This will be a day to remember for all who attend.
Each panel will have a 30 minute guided discussion that the Moderator leads. He or she will wrap it up and then open the floor for a 15 minute Q&A from the audience.
The best part, all of this will take place on Zoom meetings that will be recorded and uploaded so you can catch all the fun even if you missed it.
Here is our schedule of events:
If you have attended author/reader events in the past you know that there are usually two types of tickets. The free general admission and the VIP package.
You can snag your Eventbrite RSVP ticket early here!
But what could a virtual event do for a VIP package?
Great question! Our VIP packages will cost $10 and include the following benefits:
1) 2 entries into the GRAND Prize CRUSH Giveaways
2) 6 ebooks emailed to you the day of the event (epub or PDF format)
3) Access to the Author lounge after the event is over to hang out with any of the authors who want to hangout and chat.
What’s this about a GRAND prize?
You read that right, Skylar Quinn & Sunny A Morgan are cooking up a grand prize award to send to one lucky reader. This will include at least one personalized CRUSH item and at least 2 signed books. There may also be smaller prizes depending on author participation and donations.
The ladies of CRUSH have been to a lot of in person author/reader events and know that not everyone can make those types of things on a regular basis. Traveling is price restrictive and we wanted to give everyone an opportunity to experience the fun that we have come to love about being an author and a reader.
In the coming days, weeks and months you will hear more about our event and what to expect from it. For now, we will leave you with some general questions that we know people are going to have.
Where do I get my ticket?
We have set up an eventbright link, this is where we will manage the all the information for who is attending this event.
Do I have to pay to attend?
No, absolutely not. Our general admission ticket is free. Registering ahead of time allows us to keep you up to date with the event and enters you in the drawing for the grand prize. The only way to enter the drawing is to register ahead of time.
Your eventbright shows a spot for sponsors, what is that about?
Each of our 8 sessions has a spot for a sponsor. This person (or business) will be the “brought to you by” for that 45 minutes. Your name will be displayed and we will include information about your company or books during that session. Sponsorships are $15. This helps to cover the cost of hosting that session.
Can I sign up to be an author for one of those panels?
Yes, we have 24 author spots open for the day, 3 per panel. If we need to go to 4 that will be on a case-by-case basis. We want to make sure each author has the chance to talk and that one person doesn’t overshadow the others. Reach out to Sunny A Morgan or Skylar Quinn if you’re interested in joining in the discussion! We will vet the author to make sure the category they signed up for is one they can talk about with experience. Meaning — You can’t sign up for a hotwife panel if all you write is paranormal erotica.
I’m an Author / business and would like to contribute to the giveways
YES! Please! Reach out to Skylar Quinn and she will organize with you what you’re donating. We will take virtual and physical donations.
Is this open world wide?
The attendance is only limited by the individual! Everyone is welcome!! However … the physical prizes are going to have to be limited to the United States due to postal costs. If you’re from another country and would like to purchase the VIP package, please talk to Sunny A Morgan & Skylar Quinn. If you win the grand prize and want to pay anything over $15 of the postal, we will work with you.
Zoom Convention! Ahh, I want to stay anonymous!
That is perfectly fine! We know that not everyone is comfortable being on camera. Be it an author or reader, you never have to turn your camera on, we just need to hear your wonderful voice. But, seeing your smiling faces will absolutely make our days!
We know this is exciting news and there will be lots of questions once you have time to think about this. Feel free to reach out to us on Twitter at @SunnyAMorgan1 or @QuinnSkylar23 or @CrushPub with any and all of your questions. Our email is crushpublications@gmail.com if you have more detailed questions you’re curious about.
Thank you for being part of the CRUSH Publication family. We are always looking for ways to grow and give back to the community. This is only just the beginning.
